Sony CDP-CE500 Operating Instructions - Page 20

Additional Information Precautions On safety • Caution - The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. • The AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at a qualified service shop. • The player is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet (mains), even if the player itself has been turned off. • Do not put any object other than a disc on the disc tray. • Do not put a vase or candle, etc., in front of the disc tray. When the disc tray opens, it might fall. On power sources • Before operating the player, check that the operating voltage of the player is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the player. • If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet (mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord. On placement • Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player. • Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom. • Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock. On operation • If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. • While the player is turning on, some noise may be heard as the disc is being loaded into the player. This is not a malfunction. On adjusting the volume Do not turn up the volume too much while listening to a portion with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is played. On inserting a disc You may hear a transmission or a mechanical sound from the player. This indicates that the player is automatically adjusting its internal mechanisms according to the inserted disc. You may also hear the mechanical sound from the player when you insert a warped disc. On cleaning Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine. On transportation • Be sure to remove all discs from the disc tray. • Be sure to close the disc tray. If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. 20US
